Smoke, Flicks, and Chill: Animated Animal Favorites

Animated animal movies tend to come with a certain stigma that they’re typically targeted for children. If you were to visit your local theater and plop down with your extra large popcorn, chances are you’ll be sandwiched between two tweens who will talk, cry, and laugh throughout the movie because frankly, they’re there for the cute talking animals (and the vibrant colors). The advantage you are so lucky to have is that you can actually understand the story and true message, and maybe learn a little something along the way. Plus, as an adult, you are able to walk into that theater so high that you’ll feel like those talking animals are actually having a direct conversation with you, and only you. That’s why, in honor of both Finding Dory and The Secret Life of Pets, here’s a few animated animal favorites (in no particular order) that you should get high during. There’s a reason for the label ‘man’s best friend.’
